Messner, a laborer in the employ of J.
Gundlach & Co., wine merchants, this
evening went to the house of Mrs. Freder-
lex Muller, his divorced wifes sister, No.
1888 Minna street. and rang the bell. Mrs.
Miller's husband opened the door in re-
sponse to the bell, and Messner imme-
diately drew revolver and opened fire on
him. Muller fell, and Messner, jumping
over his body, ran into the kitchen, from
which Mrs. Muller was endeavoring to
make her exit. Messner, however. was
too quick, and before she could
escape he put bullet in her left forearm.
Muller is wounded in two places in the
right shoulder and the thoracic cavity.
The latter wound will probably prove fatal.
Messner's wife obtained divorce from
him about year ago, on the ground Of
cruelty, and he has been since
irving to get her to return to
him. She has steadfastly refused
to do so, and it is supposed that his anger
at her repeated refusals, intensified by
numerous potations, led him to go TO
the house of her sister, with whom she
was staying, with the intent to kill her.
She was, however absent from the holse
at the time, and her relatives received the
bullets intended for her.
Immediately after the shooting, Messner
went into the yard Of the house and turned
the pistol on himself, sending the bullet
through his head. He then walked back
| into the house, where he fell. The wound
| is believed to be fatal He iS~Inder treat
ment at the City Receiving Hospital.
